Over the past day, information was received about the death of a woman and the wounding of a man in the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka.
Ten residential buildings were damaged in Kievsky and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk, Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka. Damage to civil infrastructure facilities was not recorded.
A previous 54 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU per day.
22:00 Ukrainian troops fired 14 rockets from the MLRS in Horlivka, reported representation of DPR at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine (JCCC).
21:03 Kherson direction. According to the latest data, the enemy has sharply increased activity in the area of the Antonovsky bridge.
Also, the enemy concentrated additional artillery systems on the right bank, there is an increase in the number of artillery attack of the left bank of the Dnieper, in some areas the artillery attack increased from 1-2 times a day to 10.
Also, behind enemy lines, there is a significant increase in the movement of support vehicles, so, only in the daytime, from the beginning of the week, at least six columns of trucks and other equipment proceeded to the area of the settlement of Snegirevka, Davydov Brod, earlier in this area of such activity not seen during the day.
19:20 Militants of the Kyiv regime fired 20 rockets from the MLRS at Gorlovka - DPR JCCC.
19:05 A civilian died during shelling of Tokmak by the Nazis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
At about 17:45, the Nazis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled the city of Tokmak, Zaporozhye region. Presumably, the fire was fired from the MLRS "HIMARS". As a result of the shelling, the foundation of a residential nine-story building was damaged. Two of the three rockets fired were shot down.

18:21 Video of unsuccessful attack of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Zaporozhye direction. Bottom line: one T-64BV tank and two International MaxxPro armored vehicles were destroyed.
17:31 Seversk direction situation as of June 22, 2023:
The Airborne Forces continue to clear out strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Serebryansky forest. For two days of fighting, the paratroopers managed to occupy several enemy positions and move deep into the forest.
Despite the low motivation of Ukrainian formations in this area, Russian paratroopers have to deal with heavy artillery fire on newly occupied positions. Problems are added by the lack of consolidation groups - Russian attack aircraft do not always have time to build on the success achieved due to the need to “hold positions” until the reserves approach.
In addition to the need to create a buffer zone around Kremennaya and regain positions lost last fall, Russian paratroopers are aimed at reaching the northern bank of the Seversky Donets and storming Grigorovka on the opposite bank.
Russian units have been continuing fighting on the eastern outskirts of Belogorovka for several months now: despite the work of aviation and artillery, which forced the enemy to leave their positions in the quarry, they have not yet been able to advance further than half of the industrial zone.
In the event of a breakthrough by Russian paratroopers from the north and simultaneous actions of a group advancing from Lisichansk, the scenario of the start of full-fledged hostilities on the Seversky sector of the front is quite likely - and this, in turn, will reduce the load on the north of the Soledar direction.
16:27 Statement of head of the press center of the Vostok group:
In the South-Donetsk direction, the advanced units of the Vostok grouping of forces inflicted fire damage on accumulations of equipment and manpower of the enemy, preparing for an offensive in the direction of Makarovka.

15:57 One of the hot spots, or rather not hot ones, but those where the Armed Forces of Ukraine will try to break through our defenses, may be the Donetsk direction. This was stated by the Telegram channel "Older than Edda". It can be either Bakhmut or directly the vicinity of the Donetsk agglomeration. It is in this direction that enemy echelons with ammunition and military equipment are heading.
“Kyiv still has enough strength, meat assaults and hundreds of pieces of lost equipment have not used up the resource that the enemy has been accumulating since the winter. On the other hand, with the planning that we are seeing now, such offensive actions are more likely to play into our hands. High activity with heavy losses of the advancing side is better than many months of trench fuss, which also takes lives, the difference is only in the time lag, ”the channel’s publication says.

"This is not a military coup, but a march of justice. Our actions do not interfere with the troops in any way," Prigozhin. The head of Wagner also stressed that artillerymen and helicopter pilots of the Russian Defense Ministry were used in the dark to destroy the Wagner PMC.
In continuation of his interview, Prigozhin lists two reasons for the start of the SMO: a) personal ambitions of Shoygu and b) the desire of Russia's ruling clan, who were not satisfied with the Donbas, to appoint Medvedchuk as the president of Ukraine and divide its assets between each other for plundering. According to Prigozhin, denazification and demilitarisation make no sense since Azov wouldn't be exchanged for Medvedchuk otherwise.

I'd like to see some actual pix or video of Wagner moving before breaking out the bubbly - or vodka. This seems to be more than a massive Uke psyop, but the idea of a 40km Wagner column already moving into Russia seems a stretch...
#25
Free Russian Legion: Civil war: Everyone who has worked at PMC Wagner has been summoned by messages and email today. To fight shoigu and gerasimov. The Russian guard raided the Wagner offices today.I received this email, I fought in Africa. Wagner has 62k soldiers active and rested in Russia now.

They say they are on their way to Novocherkassk, where the army headquarters are. It is also known that a column of 400 vehicles left Millerovo in the direction of Moscow.
#27
Anton Gerashchenko: Prigozhin: "Just now head of the General Staff gave an order to bring aircraft into air and start shooting the convoys. They are walking among civilian cars, in between trucks. They don't care who they kill."
An audio message about this was published in his Telegram channel. There is no confirmation of this.
Earlier, he threatened that the mercenaries would shoot down "overflying aircraft" as well as shoot down outposts they meet along the way if they do not let the convoy through.

[Regnum] The Russian Aerospace Forces do not leave a chance for the armed forces of Ukraine to successfully complete their counteroffensive. The German newspaper Bild published its forecast.
The authors quote one of the Ukrainian military: “If the Russian Aerospace Forces attack us with helicopters from a distance of 8 km, we will have nothing to fight them. Attacks go far behind the front lines, using artillery, rockets or targeted airstrikes .
According to the publication, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are acutely aware of the lack of air defense systems, there is no own military aviation. In addition, only 10-15% of soldiers have access to Western military equipment.
“The terrible scenario that is being prepared behind closed doors in Kiev looks like this: if the offensive fails, the United States can force Ukraine to enter into peace negotiations with Russia ,” the authors concluded.
As reported by IA Regnum , the Russian Aerospace Forces thwarted the offensive of the Ukrainian army in the Torsk direction in the Donetsk People's Republic. The Armed Forces suffered significant losses.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
A crazy statement from a snorting clown.
A similar scenario voiced by the green Fuhrer is absolutely not beneficial for Russia, and I will explain why:
- such an incident will destroy the alliance between Russia and China
- indirectly damage the BRICS, which in the next ten years can replace the G7 and G20.
- the territories that the Russian Federation controls will become an infected zone (including possibly Crimea, depending on where the wind blows).
- economic damage only for the Russian Federation will be estimated at hundreds of billions.
- Also, the Russian Federation will lose an asset like ZNPP and other enterprises of the regions.
But for Ukraine, such a scenario is beneficial. Kyiv may well launch a terrorist attack using a "dirty" bomb and blame Russia, despite the obvious stupidity of such an accusation.
Everything is on a well-worn topic: "Russia first blew up its gas pipeline, then regularly fired at itself at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, then it blew up its own hydroelectric power station, and now it blew up its own nuclear power plant."
The collective West will not be able to blame Ukraine for the terrorist attack, as this is a "gift" to the Kremlin. Accordingly, the Fuhrer's Office for this shop will require even more weapons and money for its maintenance.
Kyiv is preparing a provocation against the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. This was announced by the head of the public movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.
He recalled that recently the special services of Ukraine have stepped up the topic of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in the public space, throwing in reports about the alleged mining of this object and the cooling pond by Russian troops.
“All this is being done with one goal - to justify the provocation they are preparing in advance,” RIA Novosti quotes Rogov as saying.
He also noted that the world community should influence the terrorist regime of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky , who planned a monstrous provocation in relation to the nuclear power plant.
As IA Regnum reported , earlier Rogov said that the inspectors of the mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency tried to photograph the defensive structures and checkpoints of the Russian army at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The head of the movement clarified that the IAEA staff could not send the collected information about the Russian military, as the vehicle on which they were traveling had an Internet signal suppression system, and then they were politely, but extremely persistently asked to remove it.
Earlier, Zelensky, in an interview with the American television channel NBC News, announced Russia's alleged intention to undermine the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. He argued his assumption by the fact that the Russian side, in his opinion, is not interested in security in Ukraine.
Rogov called this statement by the Ukrainian president a wild lie, covering up the terrorist plans of Kiev. According to Rogov, such statements suggest that the Ukrainian president is trying to cover up the preparation of provocations against the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. By blaming Russia, the Ukrainian leader is setting the stage for accusations against Russia with the Western public in mind.
Earlier, Rogov said that since the beginning of the counteroffensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not advanced further than the gray zone on the Zaporozhye front line. The expert also added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not break through the first line of defense of the Russian troops. He recalled that the Russian Armed Forces repel the attacks of Ukrainian militants, and, if necessary, counterattack.

[ColonelCassad] Statement at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation dedicated to the NWO in Ukraine. Putin
1. We know that the enemy is going to supply additional foreign equipment to Ukraine.
2. Equipment can be supplied, but the mobilization reserve is not unlimited.
3. The reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet been exhausted.
Patrushev Nikolai Patrushev is secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation
1. From 4 to 21 June, the RF Armed Forces destroyed 246 Ukrainian tanks, incl. 13 Western, 595 AFVs, 279 artillery pieces and mortars, 10 fighters and 264 UAVs.
2. The Russian Armed Forces destroyed more than 13 thousand Ukrainian soldiers involved in the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Shoigu
1. On average, 1336 people enter the contract per day in Russia, that is, every day we “get a regiment”
2. On average, Russian troops receive 112 units of various equipment per day.
3. 18 out of 109 American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles delivered to Ukraine were destroyed.
4. We do not see the need for new volunteers for the NWO.
5. The formation of the reserve army of the Russian Federation and the new army corps will be completed by June. They will be armed with 3,700 units of various equipment.
6. The total number of new contract soldiers is 114,000 people.
7. Preparations are underway to respond to further attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to conduct offensive operations.
8. In 2023, the West will supply Ukraine with 250 tanks, including 120 Leopards and 31 Abrams.
According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin:
"1336 people on average enter the service under a contract in the Russian Armed Forces per day, in fact we receive a regiment every day."
But I have a question for Sergey Kuzhugetovich:
And does this include the contracts that the Ministry of Defense has obliged volunteers, volunteer detachments and PMCs located on the line of combat contact with Ukraine to conclude before July 1? That is, let me explain, is there a simple transfusion of liquid from one container to another, without increasing the total amount of this liquid, that is, the number of fighters at the front?
If I am wrong in my suspicions, I will be very happy. But my feeling tells me that the vast majority of the contracts that have been signed over the past few weeks are just such contracts, giving such a figure.
And yes, the numbers are beautiful, especially for a report on the president's parquet, as I suspect, greatly retouching the real replenishment for the front. And, thanks to such retouching, if any, the president can draw very wrong conclusions.
Meanwhile, Yevgeny Prigozhin says that there are not enough people at the front: “There are very serious losses at the front at the moment - killed, wounded and missing. it's 50-60. When the number of personnel falls down, it is natural that the death of fighters increases. Therefore, people must be prepared. For this, they must be mobilized and trained, unless there is some option for ending the war and surrendering our territories. Because otherwise just don't stop it."
The need for the first mobilization was clear no later than the beginning of April 2022, but it took place only in October 2023. The first mobilization took place when the rooster pecked near Kharkov, when there was simply not even an approximate amount of the necessary forces in this direction to resist the enemy. There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine simply crushed it with quantity (not with meat, meat is when they are thrown for slaughter, namely with quantity).
It is clear that the second wave will come sooner or later. But it would be better if she was early. Not for replenishment at the front. And for a full-fledged measured preparation and coordination for six months at the training grounds. The Kremlin does not understand this. Perhaps largely due to the positive reports from Shoigu.

Commentary taken from the Telegram posting of Karga4
[ColonelCassad] This story is amazing: the bathyscaphe, which went to the sunken Titanic, drowned itself. The trip cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, the entertainment turned out to be dangerous. On June 18, the bathyscaphe disappeared from the radar, there were five people on board. The missing submarine is now being searched for by rescue teams from several countries.
Here's who's on board the bathyscaphe now:
Businessman and explorer Hamish Harding, a three-time Guinness World Record holder; he holds the world record for the fastest flight around the Earth, dived to the bottom of the Mariana Trench and flew into space on the New Shepard;
Businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman are members of one of the wealthiest families in Pakistan;
Paul-Henri Narjolet - French explorer, pilot;
Stockton Rush is the CEO of OceanGate.
What we managed to learn during this time:
- the bathyscaphe was made in a garage
- it was not tested by specialized companies
- glass was installed that was not intended for diving to a depth of 4 km
- OceanGate ignored the warnings about the danger of the bathyscaphe barrel from an engineer, and even fired him
- they did not hire white men for the sake of inclusiveness
- specialized companies asked not to use the bathyscaphe
- the bathyscaphe is controlled by the Logitech F710 gamepad
- the porthole of the bathyscaphe is in a latrine closed by a curtain from the rest of the room
- the bathyscaphe has no external lighting at all
- the bathyscaphe has a dubious emergency ascent system, in the form of two anvils on the body
- the bathyscaphoon control system is presented in the form of 4 engines. Two for moving up and two for moving down
- there is simply no system for stabilizing horizontal movement
- the external wiring is made to fuck off, and its tails weigh on the surface of the bathyscaphe.
It turns out that billionaires risked their lives (and most likely died) just to be able to look at the wreckage of the Titanic through muddy water, through a window the size of a plate, hovering head over the toilet.
The US Coast Guard left no doubt that the wreckage discovered on June 22 refers to the missing Titan submersible in the Atlantic. Experts confirmed that everyone who was inside the underwater vehicle died. This was stated to reporters by Rear Admiral of the US Coast Guard John Mauger .
It is noted that the wreckage of the bathyscaphe "Titan" was found 200 meters from the bow of the "Titanic".
“During consultation with experts, it was concluded that the wreckage indicates a catastrophic loss of the passenger capsule. There was a catastrophic inward explosion with the bathyscaphe, ” the rear admiral said, expressing condolences to the families of the victims.
At the site of the discovery of the wreckage, work continues to collect all evidence of the incident. Participants in the search operation acknowledge that, due to the depth at which the wreckage is located, and the complexity of working on it, the likelihood of finding the remains of the dead is small.
As reported by IA Regnum, the wreckage found in the Atlantic Ocean on June 22 is considered part of the missing submersible "Titan."
Expert David Mearns said that the landing frame and the rear cover of the device were found. The design of the bathyscaphe is non-standard, and therefore the probability of error is small.
There were five people on board the bathyscaphe. The company sold tourist tickets for the Titan, which descended to the Titanic that sank in the early 20th century for $250,000.
Communication with the bathyscaphe disappeared on June 19.
The president and founder of OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush , French aquanaut Paul-Henri Narjolet , British billionaire Hamish Harding, as well as 48-year-old Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman, who lived in the UK, died as a result of an emergency with a bathyscaphe.
Found in the Atlantic Ocean, the wreckage is believed to be part of the missing submersible "Titan", according to CNN.
“The wreckage found in the search area for the missing Titan submersible was assessed as the outer part of the submarine,” the TV channel reports.
As IA Regnum reported, two parts discovered on June 22 in the Atlantic Ocean in the search area for the Titan bathyscaphe presumably belong to the missing submarine.
Expert David Mearns said that the landing frame and the rear cover of the device were found. The design of the bathyscaphe is non-standard, and therefore the probability of error is small, he believes.
The operating company of the Titan submersible missing in the Atlantic Ocean, OceanGate Expeditions, considers the crew members and passengers dead.
"When you study the situation with the disappearance and probable death of the Titan deep-sea submersible, which was heading for the wreckage of the Titanic, one gets the impression that its designers were saving on everything," Evgeny Chernyaev, Hero of Russia, commander of the deep-sea submersible "Mir-2" of the laboratory for the scientific operation of deep-sea manned submersibles of the P. I. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told this to a Regnum correspondent.
"Titan" is a deep-sea manned vehicle, which, in fact, is closer to a small autonomous submarine, the expert explained.
When you study the situation with the disappearance and probable death of the Titan deep-sea submersible, which was heading for the wreckage of the Titanic, one gets the impression that its designers were saving on everything. On June 22, Evgeny Chernyaev, Hero of Russia, commander of the deep-sea submersible "Mir-2" of the laboratory for the scientific operation of deep-sea manned submersibles of the P. I. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told this to a Regnum correspondent on June 22.
In an interview with an IA Regnum correspondent, he criticized the version of Alexander Inzartsev, chief researcher at the Institute of Marine Technology Problems named after academician M. D. Ageev, according to which the Titan could explode when it reached a certain depth due to "fatigue of the bathyscaphe hull material."
“This is a deep-sea manned vehicle! There are no bathyscaphes now at all. They don't make sense. What is a bathysphere? This is a tethered craft. A bathyscaphe is the same as a bathysphere, but without a cable - an apparatus that simply lowers and rises,” the expert said.
As the oceanologist emphasized, the Titan is a deep-sea manned vehicle, which, in fact, is closer to a small autonomous submarine.
Arguing about the causes of what happened, Chernyaev noticed that the titanium used in the manufacture of this device does not hold cyclic loads well.
“And if there is some area where there is more deflection during crushing, then for titanium it is much worse than for steel. It is stronger than steel. But if we make a four-centimeter case out of steel, then a six-centimeter one should be made out of titanium. Because titanium is not elastic and microcracks appear on the deflection. And when I saw that it was a pipe, I gasped. Because the pipe is loaded unevenly, and there the metal will get tired somewhere very quickly,” said Chernyaev.
Moreover, as the oceanologist emphasized, it turned out that there was no hydroacoustic communication on the device.
"They… corresponded! This is outrageous! They didn't set up an underwater connection. And they couldn’t speak," the expert was indignant.
Chernyaev said that it was wrong to say that "the bathyscaphe could collapse." It would rather refer to a spherical design. And when it comes to a pipe, it begins to collapse in some weak spot. First, a crack appears, but there will not necessarily be an explosion.
"Most likely, there will be no collapse as such," Chernyaev said.
According to him, "Titan" was deprived of even the simplest and cheapest navigation "with a short base."
“It was necessary to install rods on the ship on both sides, firmly fix them. Hydrophones will be lowered into the water. And put another transponder on the device, which will respond to a request from above. Then it would be possible to accurately determine the coordinates of the object,” he said.
This deep-sea vehicle, according to the scientist, would never have passed any registration, even if it had the right hull.
“Although with such a hull it was impossible to go to the depth where the Titanic lies,” he said. - But the creators of the "Titan" neglected everything they could! It turns out that even the hatch could not be opened from the inside. It doesn't go anywhere! If the apparatus floated to the surface, then it should be possible to open the hatch from the inside. Everything is blatantly wrong. Even the Titanic didn't break as many rules as the Titan. It violates all valid laws."
Summing up what was said, he noted that, apparently, when creating the device, they saved on everything - “they didn’t even want to buy a pinger for five kopecks.” There were no simple things like an emergency buoy on a cable that pops up and shows where the device is.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, according to Inzartsev, if the Titan was lost under the side of the Titanic or inside it, then the situation with its detection is much more complicated. In this case, one cannot do without remotely controlled uninhabited vehicles or without using a second search bathyscaphe.
According to preliminary data from the US Coast Guard, oxygen supplies on the Titan ran out on June 22 at 14:08 Moscow time. The search and rescue operation has been going on for three days at depths that exceed 4,000 meters. Ships, deep-sea vehicles and aircraft from France, Canada, the USA and Great Britain participated in it. Later, the US Coast Guard announced the discovery of unidentified debris in the search area for the Titan. There is no confirmation yet that this is a missing device.

...Look up the acoustic detection analysis on the ARA San Juan, and Argentine sub that went down a few years ago. San Juan was actually higher than Titan, and the analysts state that the water entering the hull did so as an essentially solid force at 'about 1800 MPH'. The pressure hull was 'destroyed/compacted' in 'about 40 milliseconds'(0.040 seconds, or about 1/25th of a second)' which is about half the time needed for the human brain to recognize what is happening.
They might have known what was coming, but they didn't feel it when it did.

The Biden administration knew the Titan submarine imploded Sunday. But waited until today to make it public. Convenient smokescreen for today’s House Ways & Means release of IRS whistleblower testimony of DOJ sabotage of the Hunter Biden investigation. https://t.co/RtRcCihIZT

Direct proof of how ignorant today's generation of western business brass are. In the old school, you NEVER put a system into a catastrophic situation without first being well tested.

Ah yes, the old school. Those 50-year-old white dudes that nobody wants to hire because they are always telling you that your genius plan will not work for stupid reasons like thermodynamics or physics or something.
As we learn more about the incident, it sounds like the sub lacked some basic safety features like a pinger, emergency buoy, external lights, a hatch that opened from the inside.
From the HR perspective, engineers are fungible, one is as good as another with the only difference being salary and bennies. On the job, the difference is that the old dude has a few decades of mistake-making and OJT that the newbie lacks. Kinda makes me wonder if the catastrophic failures we see lately - imploding subs, stylish bridges falling down, electric grids collapsing - are a result of the new kids on the job.
I would totally go down in a home-made submarine to look at the Titanic thru a little port hole. But I'd lower the sub on a rope first a couple three times first to make sure it won't implode.
